Banshee refuses to play internet radio stream

[Deactivated User]

Binary package hint: banshee

Banshee refuses to play a internet radio stream, popping up a dialog box that says "Error opening stream - could not open stream or playlist", and throws this exception in the debug log.

[Warn 21:27:11.308] - (on ) <00:00:00> [<unknown>] - An application exception has occurred. (in `Banshee.Services')
  at Banshee.Playlists.Formats.PlaylistParser.Parse (Banshee.Base.SafeUri uri) [0x00000]
  at Banshee.Streaming.RadioTrackInfo.LoadStreamUri (System.String uri) [0x00000]

Further investigation indicates that it faults here

[PlaylistParser.cs] (function Parse( ))

                        // If more than 4KB of data exists on an HTTP playlist,
                        // it's probably not a playlist. This kind of sucks,
                        // but it should work until someone can prove otherwise

                        read = web_stream.Read (buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
                        if (read >= buffer.Length - 1) {
                            throw new InvalidPlaylistException ();
                        }

Also, moc(p) is able to play the internet stream I'm having trouble playing with in Banshee, as does using gst-launch-0.10 to directly play the stream.

Hello

Is this issue present with the latest updated karmic or lucid packages ?
Thanks

Edward, any news about this issue?

I cannot say, as I do not have access to the internet stream I did two years ago to reproduce this issue.

Currently experiencing this with Banshee 1.8.0 on 10.10, and Movie Player pulls the stream with no issues. Here's the feed: http://radiokstreams.cce.umn.edu:8256/listen.pls

This does not work for me. Banshee 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 11.04 64bit.
Additionally, all radio stations at http://www.di.fm/ do not work.
Example: http://listen.di.fm/public3/minimal.pls

Chromium downloads the file. Totem movie player can open and start the stream fine. However, Banshee cannot. So if you want to stream internet radio in Banshee either to A) have it play all your music or B) listen to internet radio while something is simultaneously playing in Movie Player, this is not possible.

Interestingly, this works when adding it as a radio station under the "Radio"
source, but does not work when trying to use "Open location".
